How To Spot Conceal Pimples/Redness

How could I almost forget I had a huge zit on my chin? 
Teenage hormones you know! *flips hair*
Seriously, I had this huge zit on my chin for more than a week now!  When I decided to make a good use of it, it went smaller yet multiplied into 2!  How in the world that happen?  

So trying to keep things positive, I may as well make a good use of this "zit" and bumpy redness to help others who are going through the same dilemma!  Oh yes, the reason why it shrunk was because of my constant use of The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil (my ultimate savior!)

Just in case you forgot, I made a first photo-torial on how to spot conceal several years ago (Link Here)  And I'm sharing my version 2.0!  A better way in my opinion!

How To Spot Conceal Pimples/Redness

If you are a BB cream, CC Cream or foundation wearer, feel free to apply the product on your face as you usually do!  If you are just a powder foundation user, you may start this step immediately.

Skincare Talk: Creating Radiant, Glowing Skin



It has now been the most asked query on my mailbox on how to achieve healthy, radiant glowing skin!  YAY!  Finally!  I am so happy my readers are starting to take notice the importance of skincare, which by the way, I always stress when I do workshops!  

To achieve good make up looks, you need a good canvass meaning, a good and healthy skin!  So today, I will share some of the inexpensive to luxurious way to pamper your skin creating a beautiful glow from within!

(Note from author: I only mention products I've personally tried, feel free to share in the comment section below on the products you tried that works!  Let's help each other okay?)

Let's start with the most inexpensive way to the more expensive ways!  Check your budget and see which of the options listed below you would like to try.

Facial Masks
As much as you would like to think it's just a fad...no, it's definitely not!  Facial Masks are here to stay!  And my recent discoverY?  The Leaders "energy masks"!



I've tried all 4 but my favorite for instant glow is the "Yellow Energy Mask".  This variant comes with Orange (Vitamin C) that helps in creating GLOW.

Etude House Precious Mineral Any Cushion SPF50 PA+++ (Honey Beige) Review




Cushion foundation is the "in" thing in Korea for the past year.  My first one is Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion.

And because I have dry skin (not extremely dry all thanks to the moisturizers I use!), on days I needed coverage and I can't seem to put on liquid or cream foundation because of extreme humidity, I am actually reaching out the new favorite "cushion" to date --- Etude House Precious Mineral Any Cushion and it also comes in SPF50+/PA+++ just like the Laneige one.


The packaging is almost the same, or if not, exactly the same as Laneige!  To those who are new to "Cushion" foundation, it comes in a thicker compact powder plastic with sponge.  It is actually foundation all inside this sponge!  I do think about Spongebob EVERY time I use this foundation!  (do you feel the same? lol)

Let's Talk About Brows at Benefit Trinoma this Saturday!



Hi AMW friends!
How are you?  I am so excited to share yet another workshop with one of my favorite brands!  Benefit Cosmetics!  And as you guys know, I trust my brows with Benefit so it is just a perfect venue for me to talk, teach and share tips ALL ABOUT BROWS this Saturday at Trinoma Branch!

And you all know me, I will talk NOT ONLY about brows but all beauty emergencies you may want to tackle!  The floor is open to all attendees to ask questions (even if you want help for love life! hahaha)


And the best part is, all thanks to Benefit Cosmetics Philippines for the support, is that the workshop is FREE for all!  But WAIT!

I Wonder: Can You Apply Make Up Inside a Moving Car?

And...before I get any gasp, I have to clarify that you are NOT the driver!  If you are, maybe you can still answer, maybe, in between traffic?

I've been both..the driver and the passenger, all I can say is that I NEVER apply make up when i'm the driver, whether in between traffic or during red stoplight...I never will!  I value my life too much!

Now, as a passenger, that is a different story!  YES, so many times!

 Especially now that I'm a mom!  You know how hard it is if your toddler screams whenever you leave home?  Well, what I do is that I spend at least an hour, playing with him, giving them all the attention before I leave home!  That means, a lot of playing, kissing, nose to nose, and skin rubbing!  So I make sure to be make-up free during those crucial times!  But how do I get to prepare myself (aka my face) when I had to go to an important event?  Well, bring out the make up and apply them inside the car!  Only on days I get to hitch a ride with someone (my dad, Uber, etc...)

Now on to the make up...I can usually do simple make up looks to make me look decent.  What I can do inside a moving car ---
